Roma form and stats

Roma have performed here at Stadio Olimpico this season with 10 wins from 15 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 4. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadio Olimpico.

In their previous game, the manager Mourinho led his Roma to a defeat away at Atalanta. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Olimpico. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through three league fixtures. The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Pellegrini, having scored in three consecutive games. Pellegrini, a natural forward, was the highest rated player for the team in that game, receiving a rating of 7.84 (out of 10). Pellegrini scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that match, a home victory against Feyenoord (after extra-time) in the Europa League.

The manager Mourinho will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Monza in only four days.

A decent goal production from Roma in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 15 league matches. Roma have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
